A mixed bag of results saw only two Dulwich sides record victory on Saturday.

The 1st XI returned to Burbage Road for the first time in three weeks for their fixture with Worcester Park. A tight bowling a fielding display kept the visitors to 174 in the first innings. Tom Savil was again in the runs – his 58 leading Dulwich to 105-3 before they collapsed to 146-9, with a resolute final wicket partnership ensuring Worcester Park took only the winning draw from the game. Full report here.

In the reverse fixture at Worcester Park, the 2nd XI made it five-from-five with a comfortable eight wicket win. Chasing 209 for victory, Ed Towner (108*) and Nick Hudson (72*) shared in a memorable 175 run partnership to maintain Dulwich’s position at the top of Division 1.

The 3rd XI took on Wimbledon, confident on the back of three straight wins. Good bowling from Lawrence Taylor (4-40) and Abu Arabi (4-37) helped dismiss Wimbledon for 175. Dulwich’s run chase never got going in response and they were bowled out 50 runs shy of their host’s total. Full report here.

Also facing Wimbledon, the 4th XI suffered defeat by 70 runs. But a pair of 71s from James Worley (71) and Siraj Durrani (71) helped the 5th XI overcome Bromley Common by 68 runs. Full report here. Finally, the 6th XI triumphed in their outing with Shooters Hill. Dave Cook (4-24) starring with the ball in their eight wicket win. Full report here.

@MitchamCC@DulwichHamletFC@OfficialTmufc@MitchamCC our u12s were disappointed that their 2017 game at Cricket Green was washed out; believe our u14s and u16s are playing you there this summer, looking forward to it. We should try and get a girls’ game on at a venue with such a proud history of hosting women’s cricket!

Please note that due to floor replacement at Dulwich College Sports Centre there are no indoor nets this Sunday, 18th March. We await confirmation about the 25th March. Keep an eye on e-mails and website.

@PROACTIVE_Swk@lb_southwark Exciting times as all four teams in the semifinals hail from south of the river (Richmond sort of as it’s both sides of the river). Southwark play Greenwich and Bromley take on Richmond.....

In south London? Like cricket? Lewisham cricket winter training resumes tomorrow, ages 8-14, any level, all welcome, new players particularly so. Very nice set of coaches. Based in SE6. @ me for full details
